"We will take or control all of the energy resources” yes this is our Western world right now with the de-Carbon idiocy and de-industrialization to save energy. Then no meat, no fowl, no house pets to save our world from catastrophe. No cars too. No roads. 15 minutes to travel or present reason to move permit.
The point you make of an Empire in it's moment crashing is quite true and since Das Kapital knows no nation as home so much the better for the Globalist who can use the international system built since WW2 in it's interest to gain more power. The nation state is obsolete as autonomous entity. WHO knows this as do the signatories to the treaty. The government of the United States and all other governments-Russia and China too-is bought by interest groups who combine to co-create policy. Covid is an outstanding example of how simple it is to buy a government. China convinced the DOD to invest 10 billion to let them weaponize it. And now with the investigation into the origin Congress has plausible deniability and can safely look the other way.
The system is crumbling. The system itself is based upon premises which are not just false, but the ability to fake them is evaporating.
There is too much complexity, which basically means too many layers of hierarchy.
Russia and China, with their trade organization plans for the global south, seek to offer something that could work with fewer hierarchical layers of parasitism.
Forgive me for howling with laughter. I trust not in the words of men. China and parasitism are synonymous. Russia and Mafiya graft the same. You betcha a 21st century Glorious Revolution when hybrid communist Capitalism and Phynance walk together to chat with WHO. Capitalist Communist China and Fascist Russia and the Iranian Mullahs will forge a bond bringing freedom.
At the very least a NWO whose Orthodoxy is more Christian than the decadent devilish peoples of the West.
The possibility is there for the structure to be lless wasteful. The west is deeply corrupted at this point. Killing brown people somewhere else seems to be the go-to answer. You might note that my reply spoke of the possibiliity of the proposed structures, rather than predicting efficacy or success.
Hope is very important. Vichy had high, pie in the sky hopes of some grand European order that both undid and kept modernity and the colonies. Simply given the interlocking agreements on WHO running the world with China's help my belief is the change of hands and heads implementing WEF future of Transhumanism remains well Transhuman. And given this WEF dominates the world the war will go on. Africa refused vaccines but next time they can't. And we too can't. And China and Russia run the world.
Dr. John of course there are men and women of zeal like Bill Gates or Donald Trump or Chairman Xi and President Putin. Surely others exist and they have names fortunes and believe. Not clear though on the belief. Seems changeable and opportunistic-ideologies and governments and international organizations like puppets made to dance. Pragmatic then our invisible elites and with a spark of madness they seize the day and make it theirs.
In the mass alt media eye Xi acts in great compassion towards all sentient beings especially the poor and downtrodden. China saves the world with CCP ideology. As China helps the poor Uighur soon those remaining living after multiple injections insisted on in global lock step by WHO can be helped in the Lao Gai.
Agamben -The form of capitalism that is being consolidated on a planetary scale is not that which it had assumed in the West: it is, rather, capitalism in its communist variation, which unites an extremely rapid development of production with a totalitarian political regime. This is the historical significance of the leading role that China is taking on, not only in the realm of the economy in a narrow sense, but also – as the political use of the pandemic has so eloquently demonstrated – as a paradigm for the government of men.
i keep trying! cabbage looks promising, cantaloupe seeds have sprouted, basil, mint and rosemary thriving, hoping a better yield this time around. looks like you guys have it wired!
I'll put in my vote of appreciation for your finishing moment of zen pics that end each post - it's great grounding back into life lived with love in the moment. 💖
Dr. John, you & Jenny look like such a healthy/happy couple - GOD bless you & your family. Appreciate all your informative & powerful articles. Grateful to be on the side of our Lord ...
You give me so much to think about! Most of it is over my head and the concepts are things I have never considered until quite recently. Part of me wishes I didn't know what I know, now and prefers to focus on your lovely garden, but that would be too cowardly, I guess.
This pattern of knowledge itself is a bane, a waste of mental powers, fuels oppositional formations that takes on the same qualities as what they resist.
"Stoltenberg said that NATO has "seen some signs" that Russia requested lethal aid from Beijing in order to strengthen its forces in Ukraine." A county under continuous aggressive assault from NATO for decades now is not allowed to defend itself. Hope the rest of the world sees this.
you are forgetting that all these empires beyond their peak and power, are now a bit inconsequential. Why? Because we are 8 billion people. That is overshoot, which is willy nilly leading to Collapse, globally speaking. The British mooched 1/3 of the world for about 200 years (a savage bunch of assholes to be precise, much like the french, spanish, dutch and portuguese). However none of these empires ever had any clue about biophysical limits, worse they all, much like many rules and leaders today totally ignore a simple fact - that infinite growth (of any kind) is NOT POSSIBLE ON A FINITE PLANET. We are but an irrational yet dominating species.

We shall see. Each of us should sincerely do what we can to envision and contribute to a better world. It matters, and it is hard to see.

well, i guess our current history pretty much sucks.
this status is counterbalanced by the happy photo of real lives being lived productively.
Thanks Barbara.
Nihilism is a cop-out, so grow vegetables, instead.
:-)
i keep trying! cabbage looks promising, cantaloupe seeds have sprouted, basil, mint and rosemary thriving, hoping a better yield this time around. looks like you guys have it wired!
If you do enough work, as soon as possible, the garden will look nice and simple.
(It's paradoxical. :-)
Lovely picture!
Thank You.

Thanks, Amigo.
You’re very welcome, Dr. John!
Dr. John, you & Jenny look like such a healthy/happy couple - GOD bless you & your family. Appreciate all your informative & powerful articles. Grateful to be on the side of our Lord ...
Thank you, Susan. We just had a big extended-family gathering this weekend, with lots of sleeping-over, to celebrate our younger son's engagement.
You give me so much to think about! Most of it is over my head and the concepts are things I have never considered until quite recently. Part of me wishes I didn't know what I know, now and prefers to focus on your lovely garden, but that would be too cowardly, I guess.
Compassion matters tremendously, Lili, and it is not just something to do or to know, but a path. Thank you for walking the path, Sister.
Another beautiful picture!
Thanks Frank.
Thanks for helping me find the path!
Each step reveals another step.
:-)

Yeah, don't become the problem. Practice compassionate resistance.
(How is that done? Seek and ye shall find.)
Gardening and permaculture (relying more on local resources) to separate from the carnages. Also will need some luck.
"Stoltenberg said that NATO has "seen some signs" that Russia requested lethal aid from Beijing in order to strengthen its forces in Ukraine." A county under continuous aggressive assault from NATO for decades now is not allowed to defend itself. Hope the rest of the world sees this.
Stoltenberg is just a tool. He can say anything with a straight, bland countenance.
I thought this was gonna be an essay in how to get a girl?
Not that "broad", after all?
I hope to not have disappointed.
Hi John
